What to do and see in San Andres Island, San Andres and Providencia Department: The Best Tours
The coral island of San Andres is a diverse ecosystem of reefs, geysers, groves, and cays. Needless to say, it’s perfect for diving, snorkeling, and outdoor exploring. This paradise has multicolored warm waters and 12 mangrove forests, and the beach cedars of Johnny Cay are like natural condos for beach birds. Keep an eye out for overlooked pirate treasure at Morgan’s Cave before chowing down on rondón, a signature Caribbean dish of fish, pork, conch, plantain and coconut milk.

Without the proper instructions from the seller, we arrived to the place and under the sea my wife almost fainted. We asked the seller if we can eat before the activity and they told us that it’s fine. She felt weak and vomited after reaching the surface, so certainly is not a free risk activity. The scubas were extremely kind and took good care of her, but the administration answer back saying that this is not common and every body reacts different, so let me ask them, if they know that, why there is not any advice or information about it? Trust the scubas but never a seller and certainly not the irresponsible administration.

Nice tour, great locations, to many people/way to crowded. leaving took more time, like a hour!! But the guide on the boat was funny and friendly. Bring your own snorkel stuff!! They ask money for everything. Johnny Keys is nice, especialy the food was good , aquarium is nice and pretty. Ray was awful.

We hired a ‘buggie’ to your the island. The island is not very big and there is not much to do unless you like water sports. There is a lot of black history and you get a good feel of the culture and how slavary impacted. Some of the local people are not very friendly and can seem a little rude , but having said that there were some really nice hospitable people too. Two days is more than enough to do everything and enjoy the island. Unless you just want a relaxing break doing nothing. The island has a lot of potential so it is a shame that it has not been developed to make it more attractive. It has some nice shops in the central part and lovely places to swim. The trips to the little islands was ‘ok’ but getting on and off the boats was terrible. We met some lovely people from different places in south and Central America who are able to speak English since the tour guides only spoke Spanish. The communication could have been much better since when we booked our tour, what we was told was different from what we experienced. If you have a disability, this island is definitely not for you
